We advise organizations on specific aspects of operations that require independent insight, identifying areas for improvement, streamlining processes, ensuring regulatory compliance and managing risk.

EMPLOYMENT ISSUES
We provide strategic legal advice and services to help employers manage and minimize their risk through effective workplace strategies. The Christianson Company provides practical, business-minded counsel on a wide range of employment law concerns, including wage and hour issues, EEOC matters, restrictive covenants, and labor management issues.

We reduce the risks employers face from employment-based challenges through review and development of policies and procedures and through development of proactive, practical employment law training to address problems and prevent costly, time-consuming litigation.

PROACTIVE TRAINING PROGRAMS
We develop training programs designed to help employers avoid the risk and expense of litigation. In public and in-house programs, we train human resource professionals, managers, supervisors and in-house counsel on employment law, workplace essentials, including such key topics as investigating employee misconduct.

EMPLOYMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE
We review and make recommendations regarding ethical standards and their compliance, as well as investigations into whistle-blower claims
